pedalboards?

I need a big pedal board, Cheap with a case of some sort, It does not need to be powered, I use 1spots.

here's a picture of my current board.

I am going to be adding more pedals into it as well. The one i have now is good, But i need something pro built that has a decent case (or gig bag) to move it around in.

Any suggestions?

Put your pedals closer together.

If you don't like having pedals behind other pedals, you should have them in a single line. That way you can have two boards that you hook together and can put at an angle to each other if you like. It will also mean you don't have oceans of space on an over-sized board.

make a board and get a flightcase built for it

Ive considered the 2 board option, I dont really have a problem with putting pedals over one another, as long as I can reach them its fine. Im kinda looking to lower the space between my pedals, but still have room for more pedals all on one board.

All the flight case manufactures ive seen are way overpriced, I would pay that much for an amp, but not a pedal board case. The one i have currently is homemade board, I kinda want one that's build to last. Mine's good, but not great.

That's not a pedalboard, it's a yacht.

I got a massive flight case board from member WD second hand for a reasonable price. One thing though is that teh actual board in the case is perfectly servicable when you hook it out of the case it's so cheaply made compared to the case itself. Fot the sake of a bit of wood and some other wedge shaped bits of wood I could build the actual board for very little and it would be far more hardy.

I second getting a flight case and just glue some decent wood together for the board and buy sticky velcro. Couple of hours work max.

Maybe not the cheapest option but you will get far more for your money in durability.

I can't recommend pedaltrains enough. They are a bit more expensive but they will last a lifetime unless you run them over, and I'm sure it'll probably handle that too. The pt pro would probably work and they come with a bag or flight case ( more $ ).

Put all of your pedals where you want them and measure out the dimentions and shop from there. You don't have a LOT of pedals but they are fairly large. Put them as close as possible but leave room for comfort/more pedal.

the pedaltrain pro seems to be a pretty good size, A little on the spendy side but i can see why it would be well worth the money. That could possibly be the one.

Haha, for real. You could fit 3 times as many pedals on there.

If your main concern is budget I've heard of people making a pedalboard out of an old suitcase or hard briefcase.

Here's an example

That's probably what would come up on the x-ray if you tried to take one on a plane
